First start with the and highlight the the Americans that are are playing in Champions League.

Obviously, Christian pul scores the only goal against Liverpool.

This is, but this is, this is why Christian Pig does, bro.

He, he leads by example, shows everyone see what I just did.

You've got now 87 minutes to go do that and they did not.

Exactly because he got, he goes back to the cafeteria and says no more, no more.

Pasta.

It's all chicken fingers, bro.

You know what he did?

He saw people eating, possibly.

He walked over with a little bit of sweet baby raise, squeezed it on.

They said get used to that flavor.

OK.

This is an American club.

The uh so not only did he score a goal but he scored a great goal.

I mean, he did incredible a run was awesome.

Took the chance on his own.

He took that extra touch because you could tell that that Alison was like kind of setting his feet.

He's like, all right, the shot is gonna come.

Oh no, he's not taking the shot right now.

He was a little, it was like it was whatever the opposite of a Hezzy is uh he is the pause.

He didn't, he tapped one extra, you know what I mean?

Yeah, I mean, he went further than you thought he was going to, it was a misdirect.

I mean, as, as a little comedy matador join OK.

He, he looked, he didn't necessarily shape his body like he was about to take a shot.

But in general, that's when you take that shot.

He was like, no, let me do just a little bit, a little bit extra.

I did think he was gonna get to the touch line and then, you know, send in one of those diagonal crosses but no, he said no, he lax.

I got this one, first one's on me guys but it made it so like um OK, Ac Milan, they're gonna do something, they're gonna do something here out in Liverpool against Liverpool.

How about this stat?

This is crazy.

Christian ballistic has been involved in 30 goal contributions since he got to Ac Milan.

That's the most of any player in Serie A since that point.

So mckenny scoring that goal, which is great to see uh good, just right place right time.

He just uh there's, there's you and I have watched our favorite teams, you know, see AAA Low cross go past two or three players and there'd be no one there to take advantage of it.

It takes a certain amount of smarts and guile and brave to make that late run knowing you may not be for, for not much and you may now be out of position and have to track back and he put himself in the right spot to, to get a to get a shot and yeah, he didn't send it at the keeper.

He used it smartly.

No pressure.

No, no, I mean no uh no jitteriness.

The uh so yeah, lovely to see.

And again, it just my hope is that he continues to get minutes.
